National Gallery
Trafalgar Square. (W1) Stands on the site of the old Royal stables, and was commenced by William Wilkins, R.A., in 1832. There were some curious conditions. A roadway which had existed when the stables were there had to be left open; a portico from old Carlton House, a residence of George IV, had to be incorporated. It was a provision that St. Martin's Church should not be hidden, and not more than £70,000 was to be spent. |
